Now I wanted to see some brown eyed susans and tiger lilies. I have to see these two flowers to make my summer complete.
Usually I go alone as I'm a bit of a loner. However , the micro manager said she'd like to get out of the house and wanted to go with me. This was strange but it was fine with me. The Micro Manager usually stays in if there's the threat of a breeze or heaven forbid, a little cloud.
So off we went. I had my camera and she was just concentrating on walking. So with this situation we don't walk together much. I'm off the trail taking photos. When I walk, I walk too fast for her.

Now I really had problems taking photos. I couldn't get any sharp focus and sometimes just plain nothing. I got lucky a couple of times.
There were lot of brown eyed susans ,but I was too late for the tiger lilies. I found bog orchids , blue eyed grass, bluebells, daisies and as many more that I couldn't name.
Now we enjoyed the walk and didn't get wet even though there was some drizzle. We also stopped to look at the horses at the end of the walk.
Once I got home I had to find out what I was doing wrong. . I was worried that there was something wrong with the camera. It only took a second to discover I was pushing the focus lever the opposite way. I guess I haven't used the camera for a while.
I'm going to have to get out of the house more often.
And then there was a baddie...lots of toad flax which is an invasive species.
I like to walk at my own pace, but I do walk with my husband and Chance sometimes...they are very focused on walking and I am not:)
ReplyDeletePace is the key. we've got a pace that we are comfortable walking.
DeleteYep, gonna have to practice more. I'm much like the Micro Manager. I don't like walking in the elements.
ReplyDeleteAt one time the micro manager did a tremendous amount of walking.
DeleteI had to chuckle at the way you walked "together".
ReplyDeleteI guess together isn't exactly the right word1 Well at least we're on the same trail!
DeleteFunny how we forget the simplest things when we haven't used them for awhile. I'm the same way. Glad you and the micro manager had a bit of togetherness ;-)
ReplyDeleteI don't usually look at what the camera tells me. Maybe I should make an effort to communicate with my camera.
DeleteRegarding the picture of your micro-manager walking through the woods, it is a relief that a bear didn't rush from the trees to pounce upon her just as you were pressing the camera button.
ReplyDeleteWell that would have been an awesome photo. Sorry to disappoint you but there are no bears here.
DeleteI never have melted in the rain, but I go out in all kinds of weather also.
ReplyDeleteI like a miserable day as the critters e out because people aren't out there alarming them.
DeleteEveryone has their own definition of 'walking together'. I had a good laugh with yours!
ReplyDeleteMaybe this could make your Monday funnies!!!
DeleteGlad to find it was a simple fix for your camera. I don't use mine much any more since my phone takes such good shots. I like that first picture too. :-)
ReplyDeleteI have to reorganize myself when it comes to photos.
Deletenice that you both got out to enjoy the walk - even if at different paces. :)
ReplyDeleteWell, it was good to see here choose to go out.
DeleteAt least you figured it out. I like the horse especially.
ReplyDeleteI have to look more at what the camera tells me.
DeleteI like to walk together mostly, have a chat and making photos together. But everyone is different and when you both feel comfortable this way, there is no reason to change your habits.
ReplyDeleteThis day I was doing stop and go walking because of photos. Ordinarily I would wake at a constant pace.
DeleteI'm not familiar with toad flax, but it does look like a lovely walk.
ReplyDeleteIt's an attractive plant but crowds out native plants.
DeleteWell, you did manage to get a couple nice photos and you got in a walk on a damp day, so all was not lost!
ReplyDeleteI got lucky on a few photos. The horse was easy.
DeleteI have three cameras and many time forget what does what!! Very annoying when you miss that perfect shot.
ReplyDeleteOut of focus definitely makes it tough...:)
ReplyDeleteHi Red, I like this business of going for a walk, taking some pics, and sharing them on the blog. The shots don't have to be perfect for me to enjoy them. I really like that shot of the Micro Manager walking there by herself. The color of her jacket really stands out versus the color of the trees. Nice work!
